explosive dribbler

Chapter 20 Magic Intra-team Challenge

What happened last night made An Xiaonan very unhappy, and this morning was his first day officially in the Magic team.

Last night before going to bed, I had a phone call with Gordon. An Xiaonan learned that today the Magic will hold a three-on-three half-court bullfight. Gordon hoped that An Xiaonan could form a team with him.

Half-time bullfight, it's interesting!An Xiaonan was riding a bicycle on the way to the training hall.He definitely has a special car to pick him up, but he just doesn't want to look like a rich man. Riding a bicycle is great, and it can also be used as a warm-up.

The training hall is not close to An Xiaonan, about five kilometers away.An Xiaonan rode for 20 minutes to reach the destination, and it was 08:30 in the morning.

"Hi, Ann!" An Xiaonan parked his bicycle beside the entrance of the arena, and Gordon's voice came from behind him.

"Good morning! Congratulations on getting the MVP of the Summer League, and welcome to officially become a member of the Magic team!" Gordon smiled and held out his hand to An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan felt a warm current in his heart.Being able to get the support and care of the head star when he first entered the Magic team, no matter what he does in the team in the future, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Well, let's work hard for today's training!" An Xiaonan also smiled and shook hands.

After nearly a week, An Xiaonan felt extremely familiar and nostalgic when he entered the gymnasium again.There are Raymond, Vogel, Reed, and Williams coaches here. They form a coaching team and are the most powerful commanders of the Magic.

"Hi, buddy, welcome to Magic!" Hezonia greeted him and touched An Xiaonan's chest with his fist.

Everyone carried out their respective activities in an orderly manner, and then ran laps under the command of the head coach Vogel. After a few laps, everyone's body has been relaxed.

"Today is a three-on-three half-court match. 12 people from the team will play five balls at a time. The losing team will have to do 40 push-ups. Now let's assign the players: the first team, Nikolai Vucevic, Evan Fournier, Shelvin Mark. Second team, Aaron Gordon, An Xiaonan, Terrence Ross. Third team, Maris Speights, Elfrid Payton, Jonathan Simmons. Fourth team, Bismack Biyombo, Mario Hezonja, DJ Augustin," Vogel said.

An Xiaonan listened carefully to Vogel's instructions. The players assigned by Vogel are basically the basic rotation of the team. Today is another day to be tested.

The opportunity is fleeting, I must seize this opportunity and successfully enter the rotation lineup!

An Xiaonan thought firmly in his heart.

The first game is the contest between the first team and the second team.

Gordon, An Xiaonan, Rose vs Vucevic, Mark, Fournier.

The first time the ball was owned by Vucevic's team, Vucevic sent the ball to Mark, and Mark was about to single-handed An Xiaonan with the ball. He made a breakthrough with a change of direction, and used his own tonnage to hit it with his butt. With a touch of An Xiaonan, after pushing out a space, he scored the ball and the ball went directly into Fournier's hands.

Fournier received the ball and shot directly half a meter from the three-point line. Rose's defense was obviously good, and the goal was not made.

Gordon picked off the rebound and lobbed it into Rose's hands at the three-point line.

Terrence Ross, anyone who knows a little bit knows that he is also a powerful spring man. At his peak, he often made various windmills or swivel dunks in actual combat.

Although he is still young now, his strength is not as good as before.

"Hey!" After Gordon passed the ball, one hand stuck Vucevic's waist, and the other stretched out to ask Rose for the ball.

Rose hit the ground and passed the ball to Gordon. Gordon caught the ball with both hands and leaned against Vucevic for a single.

Carrying it hard, he suddenly turned over and shot a jumper. Vucevic was not good at defense, and this created a shooting space for Gordon.

"Swipe!" One to zero, the Gordon team took the lead in scoring.

"Nice job." An Xiaonan, who didn't touch the ball, gave Gordon a high-five to celebrate.

But soon, Vucevic used the same method to force Gordon to take a ball. After all, Vucevic's seven-foot height was not covered.

One to one, the ball will be exchanged again.

This time the ball finally reached An Xiaonan's hands. The three-on-three match in the half court did not require too much cooperation, and what was more important was individual singles.So many times, halftime three-on-three games are ended by singles.

Singled out Shelvin Mark, An Xiaonan is sure to win.

"He's dribbling again?" assistant coach Williams murmured.

An Xiaonan dribbled the ball in front of his body, suddenly he dribbled the ball behind his back, pulled the ball to his right hand, and directly dashed past Mark.Naturally, it was impossible for Mark to remain indifferent and stand in front of An Xiaonan, but the next moment, everyone was taken aback.

Under the accelerated breakthrough, An Xiaonan actually braked with his left foot, turned his body halfway, turned and changed direction with one step, and came directly to the other side of Mark.

What was even more frightening was that An Xiaonan still turned around without slowing down.

The six people from the other two teams off the field cried out in surprise almost at the same time. An Xiaonan broke through Mark in a flash, and Vucevic had no choice but to come to help defend.

When An Xiaonan seemingly casually tossed the ball up, everyone knew what would happen.

Gordon jumped up to catch the basketball in the air and slammed it hard into the hoop.

"Bang!" Alley-oop dunk!An Xiaonan's extraordinary breakthrough and Gordon's exquisite cooperation instantly blew up the atmosphere of the audience.

"Beautiful! Kid, I like you more and more!" Ross hugged An Xiaonan in a bear hug, and An Xiaonan was flattered, "Hurry up and defend!"

"Dang!" As if under the influence of An Xiaonan, Mark's shot didn't go in. An Xiaonan turned around and grabbed the rebound. The ball was dribbled beyond the three-point line, and suddenly he flicked his hand. Passed to Rose's hands.

When Rose received the ball, Fournier, who was defending him, hadn't reacted yet, and Rose had already broken through Fournier with a stride. This time Vucevic didn't come up to defend.

Ever since, Rose himself staged a one-legged take-off and a quick snap.

Three to one, so far, the Gordon team has crushed the Vucevic team.

"Swipe!" Mark is still an NBA-level player after all, so he quickly adjusted and scored a layup with only one goal from An Xiaonan.This made An Xiaonan feel that compared with the people in the summer league, this group of people is really much stronger.

But An Xiaonan was not to be outdone, and made a shot from outside the three-point line. According to the rules, a three-pointer counts as two goals. In other words, An Xiaonan hit the lore.

The poor three of Vucevic were lying on the side doing push-ups...
